It is very interesting that someone has found a potent anti-cancer agent living at the bottom of the ocean. It is a simple bacteria, and once scientists had isolated it's genomes they were able to identify the cancer-fighting potential this bacteria has. It is amazing. When you think that most of the earth is covered with water, how many more resources are lurking in the depths of the sea?
This could be a life-changing discovery for the many people plagued by and killed by cancer every year around the globe. Even though the bacterium was discovered in 1991, it wasn't until recently that the genomic sequence was unlocked. The cancer-fighting potential of this bacteria is amazing.
